The Pierpont Morgan Library has the best collection of Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts in the United StatesThis SMALL book showcases the best of them. The book is slightly larger than the palm of your hand so you need reasonable sightThe book is organised topically-- Biblical Scenes, Saints Rites and Rituals etcI prefer to see Illuminated manuscripts in chronological order , that said ,I think there arrangement has its strong points.This book is inexpensive and will be one of the earliest books that a number of people who know nothing about Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts might buy. I think the thematic approach would be helpful to themIt is good to see so many of the Illuminated treasures the Morgan owns in one place-- one wishes they would also issue this book in a larger size.The bibliography at the back guides the reader to other volumes on the Morgan collectionI think this is a great place for a person to start looking at Illuminated Manuscripts-- with due allowance made for its sizeThe Morgan collection is the best in the United States and of world class standardThe small size keeps the price down which is good for entry level buyersIf you enjoy what you are looking at I suggest you look at some other books on Illuminated Manuscripts.Helpful other booksMasterpieces of Illumination: The World's Most Famous Manuscripts 400 To 1600The Masterpieces of Illumination is a real gem. If you are interested or getting interested in Illuminated Manuscripts it is a great book to own -- and it isn't very expensive.
